Return of spontaneous circulation ( ROSC) is the resumption of a sustained heart rhythm that perfuses the body after cardiac arrest. It is commonly associated with significant respiratory effort. Signs of return of spontaneous circulation include breathing, coughing, or movement and a palpable pulse or a measurable blood pressure.
Signs of ROSC include breathing, coughing, or movement and a palpable pulse or a measurable blood pressure. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation increase the chances of ROSC. The return of circulation, while a good thing and a favorable short-term indicator, is not on its own a predictor of a favorable medium- or long-term outcome.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I46. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I46.
The condition causing the cardiac arrest is sequenced first followed by code 427.5, Cardiac arrest. When cardiac arrest occurs during the course of hospitalization and the patient is resuscitated, code 427.5 may be used as a secondary code except as outlined in the exclusion note under category 427.
The options are I46. 2, Cardiac arrest due to an underlying cardiac condition, I46. 8, Cardiac arrest due to other underlying condition, and I46. 9, Cardiac arrest, cause unspecified.
ICD-10 code: I46. 1 Sudden cardiac death, so described.
Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during chest compression is generally detected by arterial pulse palpation and end-tidal CO2 monitoring; however, it is necessary to stop chest compression during pulse palpation, and to perform endotracheal intubation for monitoring end-tidal CO2.
ICD-10 code I46 for Cardiac arrest is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Causes of Death in Cardiogenic Shock and Cardiac Arrest The causes and predictors of death differ between CS and CA: ABI is the primary cause of death in patients with CA, whereas CS patients typically die via refractory shock, organ failure, and arrhythmias.
Asystole is a type of cardiac arrest, which is when your heart stops beating entirely. This usually makes you pass out. It's also likely that you'll stop breathing or that you'll only have gasping breaths. Without immediate CPR or medical care, this condition is deadly within minutes.
Code blue means that someone is experiencing a life threatening medical emergency. Usually, this means cardiac arrest (when the heart stops) or respiratory arrest (when breathing stops). All staff members near the location of the code may need to go to the patient.

The sudden cessation of cardiac activity so that the victim subject/patient becomes unresponsive, without normal breathing and no signs of circulation. Cardiac arrest may be reversed by cpr, and/or defibrillation, cardioversion or cardiac pacing.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I46.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Cardiac standstill or arrest; absence of a heartbeat.
The cardiac arrest codes are found in I46. The options are I46.2, Cardiac arrest due to an underlying cardiac condition, I46.8, Cardiac arrest due to other underlying condition, and I46.9, Cardiac arrest, cause unspecified. I46.2 and I46.8 would be secondary diagnoses because if you establish the underlying cause, ...
The last facet of documenting the emergency department cardiac arrest is to be sure to take inventory of the resultant conditions. Did the patient fall and sustain fractures or lacerations? Were there fractured ribs from CPR? Are there sequelae such as coma or anoxic brain injury, respiratory failure or arrest, shock liver, acute kidney injury, etc.? Make precise, thorough, and exhaustive diagnoses with appropriate linkage.
If the patient dies during the admission, the cardiac arrest will not serve as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC).
There are approximately 350,000-400,000 cases of cardiac arrest arising outside of the hospital setting per year, and not all of these patients make it to the emergency department. The incidence in any given hospital on any given shift is somewhere between zero and what you see on TV medical shows.
This intellectual exercise reminded me of debates I had previously about whether you code cardiac arrest in the hospital if the patient is not successfully resuscitated. For that, I and Coding Clinic have a definitive answer. If a patient sustains cardiac arrest in the hospital and you attempt (or are successful at) resuscitation, you code it and the procedures performed. If the patient dies during the admission, the cardiac arrest will not serve as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC).
If there are residual issues or deficits, those could be definitive diagnoses. For instance, if the patient has anoxic brain damage and is in respiratory arrest and on a ventilator, those could be the captured diagnoses. However, I think leaving out the cardiac arrest would be leaving out a key part of the story.
On the other hand, you are doing the workup because it occurred. If a patient has a symptom that elicits a work up, but it has resolved by the time they are brought into the ED, you still can code it, such as with syncope or altered mental status.
ROSC (or the return of spontaneous circulation) is the resumption of sustained perfusing cardiac activity associated with significant respiratory effort after cardiac arrest.
Post cardiac arrest care is crucial after a patient achieves ROSC. Therefore, healthcare institutions must implement a comprehensive and multidisciplinary system of care universally and consistently for the treatment of post-cardiac arrest patients to assure the very best of outcomes.
Amiodarone is typically the first antiarrhythmic agent given in cardiac arrest because it has been clinically demonstrated to improve the rate of ROSC and hospital admission in adults with refractory VFib/pulseless V-tach. However, if amiodarone is not available, healthcare providers can administer lidocaine instead.
It’s also important to resume CPR while the defibrillator is charging. Shortening this interval between the last compression and the shock by just a few seconds can improve the patient’s chances of achieving ROSC. Therefore, healthcare providers must practice efficient coordination between CPR and defibrillation to minimize the hands-off interval between stopping compressions and administering the shock.
Therefore, passive monitoring is recommended for 10 minutes after resuscitation attempts have stopped.
The main determinant of PETCO2 during CPR is blood delivery to the lungs. Persistently low PETCO2 values less than 10 mm Hg during CPR in intubated patients is a good indicator that achieving ROSC will be unlikely.
Cardiac arrest will sometimes be caused by an underlying and potentially reversible condition. If ACLS providers can quickly identify a specific condition that is causing or contributing to the patient’s cardiac arrest and correct it, the patient may be able to achieve ROSC.
Irrespective of the initiating rhythm or cause of the cardiac arrest, the end result of the arrest is inadequate delivery of oxygenated blood to the tissues. This process, combined with the underlying cause of the arrest, result in a large number of changes within the body.
If the cause if known, such as myocardial infarction, the cause would be sequenced first. If the cause, such as ventricular fibrillation, was corrected prior to admission, it would not typically be the focus of the admission pursuant to OCG II.B and C (circumstances of admission, therapy provided). Likewise, cardiac arrest with unknown ...
There is an excludes 1 note for cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock which directs us to code cardiogenic shock and not the arrest.
Likewise, cardiac arrest with unknown or undocumented cause would rarely be the focus of admission. Often the consequences of cardiac arrest are the reason for admission and the most likely principal diagnosis.
Based off the explanation below, I would take the cardiogenic shock as the principal since that is what was present on admission and the patients cardiac arrest happened prior to admission.
Return of spontaneous circulation is the resumption of a sustained heart rhythm that perfuses the body after cardiac arrest. It is commonly associated with significant respiratory effort. Signs of include breathing, coughing, or movement and a palpable pulse or a measurable blood pressure. Someone is considered to have sustained return ...
Return of spontaneous circulation can be achieved through cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation. Return of circulation is not a predictor of a favorable medium- or long-term outcome. Patients have died not long after their circulation has returned. One study showed that those who had suffered from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and had achieved return of spontaneous circulation, 38% of those people suffered a cardiac re-arrest before arriving at the hospital with an average time of 3 minutes to re-arrest.
Pertaining to defibrillation, the presence of a shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia) is associated with increased chances of return of spontaneous circulation. Although a shockable rhythm increases chances for return of spontaneous circulation, a cardiac arrest can present with pulseless electrical ...
One of the factors in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the chest compression fraction, which is a measure of how much time during cardiac arrest are chest compressions performed. A study measured the effects of chest compression fraction on return of spontaneous circulation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with a non-ventricular ...
Although a shockable rhythm increases chances for return of spontaneous circulation, a cardiac arrest can present with pulseless electrical activity or asystole which are non-shockable cardiac rhythms.
